rdfs:comment
  • Pipius claw (or pIpyuS pach) was a type of popular Klingon food, made from the claw of a pipius. It is not served live, but rather the dead pipius is torn into multiple pieces which are then marinated. (TNG episode: "A Matter of Honor"; ST references: The Klingon Way, Star Trek Cookbook) The Klingon saying "If you want to eat pipius claw, you'll have to break a few pipiuses." is a reminder that you have to take actions if you want to achieve your goals. (tlhIngan Hol reference: The Klingon Way)
  • In 2364, Commander Korris and Lieutenant Konmel enjoyed replicated Omat'Gri tea and pipius after being rescued by the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Heart of Glory" ) Commander Riker sampled a dish of pipius claw when he attempted to acquaint himself with Klingon culture prior to his temporary assignment aboard the IKS Pagh in 2365. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor" )

  • In 2364, Commander Korris and Lieutenant Konmel enjoyed replicated Omat'Gri tea and pipius after being rescued by the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG: "Heart of Glory" ) Commander Riker sampled a dish of pipius claw when he attempted to acquaint himself with Klingon culture prior to his temporary assignment aboard the IKS Pagh in 2365. (TNG: "A Matter Of Honor" ) Property master Alan Sims created this dish by using chicken feet, cut off the middle "toe" and deposit into a base of liquid. (TNG Season 2 DVD special feature "Departmental Briefing Year Two: Production - Props") In non-canon, Neelix's Star Trek Cookbook suggests quite plainly that pipia (plural for pipius) are actually crustaceans, or at least wetland and ocean bottom dwellers. The book also makes a note that this dish is unusual among Klingon meat dishes in that it is "tame" meaning served dead.
